SAUSAGE-FILLER.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 28,900, dated June 26, 1860.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it lmown that I, JOHN G. PERRY, of South Kingston, in the county of\Vashington, in the State of Rhode Island, have invented a new andImproved Machine for Filling Sausages; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full and correct description thereof, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings and to letters of reference marked thereon,similar letters in the different figures denoting the same parts.

In these drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the machine. Fig. 2is a perspective view of the same open to show the inside. Fig. 3 is aview of the cylinder. Fig. 4: shows one of the-stud-slips that goes inthe cylinder.

This machine consists of a case A divided into an upper and lower part,and a cylinder B lying lengthwise in it, and turning in bearings in theends of the case; these bearings are placed to one side of the center ofthe cavity of the case, so as to bring the cylinder close to one side ofthe cavity of the said case. The cylinder B has a spiral slot C madethrough it extending nearly from one end to the other, of the cylinder.This spiral slot is filled with the stud-slips D (See Fig. 4) put inendvvise, and across the axis of the cylinder. The stud-slips are madelong enough to just reach across the cavity of the case at its shortestdiameter for this cavity should not be made exactly round, but should beof an oval, or approaching a heart shape, so that a line of a certainlength extending through and across the axis of the cylinder in anydirection in the plane of its motion, will just reach from one side ofthe cavity to the other. The studslips are made to slide easily throughthe slot in the cylinder, so that when it is turned they will be pushedin on one side and out upon the other, by their ends coming in contactwith the side of the cylinder. On the top of the case and near one endis placed the hopper E to receive the meat and an opening F is made atthe other end to discharge the meat; a tube or nozzle G is put into thisopening to receive the cases to be filled.

The operation of the machine is as follows: Motion being given to thecylinder With one hand by means of the crank, H, the meat is fed intothe hopper E by the other and is drawn into the chamber by the studslipsD but as it cannot go around with the cylinder because it is set closeto one side of the case it is forced by the spiral position of the studsto pass along toward the other end of the chamber and out of the openingF through the nozzle into the cases.

Having thus described my machine, What I claim as my invention, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent is- The combination of the cylinderB, and stud-slips D, substantially as described herein, and for thepurposes set forth.
